A native of Texas, in 1994 Trey Gunn joined King Crimson
– a group many contend as the most aggressively
adventurous rock band of all time. Over the next decade
he participated in seventeen King Crimson CDs, two DVDs
and hundreds of performances. For his role in this configuration
of the group (Adrian Belew, Robert Fripp, Pat Mastelotto
and Gunn), he helped evolve a new and unique instrument.
This 'tapped' instrument, the Warr Guitar, is a 10-string
touch guitar with the range of a piano. It can be heard,
in depth, on his 7 solo recordings.
In addition to the powerful performances and recordings
of The Trey Gunn Band, Gunn has toured and/or recorded
with TOOL, Brian Eno, Maynard J. Keenan’s “Pusicfer”,
Vernon Reid, Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones, Azam
Ali, Michael Brook, The Farlanders, Matt Chamberlain,
David Hykes of the Harmonic Choir and has spent nearly
twenty years in diverse musical partnerships with Robert
Fripp.
In addition to running his own label (7d Media) and
a multi-media production company (7 Directions), he
is currently dividing his time between solo work, film
and television scoring, building multi-dimensional media
projects and music coaching/instructing. For more information, check out http://www.treygunn.com/ |
